State Fair!

So hubby and I and some friends went to the New Mexico State Fair yesterday. It was really actually quite nice, we watched the horse show for a while, which was pretty pathetic because for some reason the Wild West here isn't know for Saddlebreds, Morgans, or Arabians... So we walked around for a while and got a great fan with a pic of dolphins on it I'll try and put a pic up here of it soon. So we get to the best part Carnival Rides!!! Who can't resist paying 5 or 6 dollars a pop to go on a rusty rickety ride, run by someone who's not "all there." Well neither dh or I could resist this temptation, though in the interest of saving money we went on only one ride..the Zipper... This is possible the best "old style" carnival ride ever. It turned out it was our lucky day! The ride operator wasn't "all there" and was waayyy more concerned with pissing off the kids who tried to rock the cars. So we got done with our ride.....still sitting in the cage watching the sun set on the mountains which was quite nice...and bam here we went again, he didn't take us off so we got another ride! Though in all fairness this may have had something to do with him not being "all there." The second ride however was not quite as good as the first because he would randomly slam on the brakes to try and keep the kids from rocking the cars...Our friends who didn't feel like dying yesterday were standing on the ground laughing!
